It's Mr. And Mrs.!  Dave proposed; and I said yes. We were married four weeks ago in my childhood church where my grandparents raised their ten children, and where my mom and dad raised my brother, sister, and me.

Of all weekends for the church doors to be taken off so they could be refinished.  But we didn't care.

Because my dad passed away 12 years ago and my mom is in her own world due to Alzheimer's disease, my friend Mark escorted me to the altar and where his wife LuAnn was my maid of honor. Mom's best friend Shirley and her husband Jack stepped in where my folks would have been.  Dave's parents were very excited for us.  Normally Dave's dad is a man of few words, but he told me at the rehearsal dinner how glad he was to see Dave so happy. I will always treasure that moment.

My granddaughters Natalie, Aubrey, and Gigi were the flower girls; and they carried bouquets of baby's breath.  My grandson Max carried Mom and Dad's Bible with our wedding rings tied on it with ribbons.  And because little boys rarely stand still, Max stole the show by hanging on the Communion rail and eventually falling off it.  I also caught him spinning Dave's wedding ring on the rail. I was able to grab the ring before it fell on the floor.

See Max on the Communion rail behind Dave?!!

Before repeating the traditional wedding vows, we spoke our own written vows to each other. I thought it would be difficult to say what was on my heart, but I got through my vows with no problem. Dave, on the other hand, got choked up. I thought it was one of the most touching moments of the ceremony.  My favorite line from his vows was 'I just want to grow old with you.'  My favorite line to him was 'In my life with all the words I have ever read or heard, none of them can describe exactly how I feel about you. Even the word 'love' is not enough but it's the only word I have.'

Instead of the usual rice toss, our guests tossed lavender buds.

I have three daughters and Dave has two. It's nice that all the girls have given us their blessings.

We kept our guest list small and invited our families and a small handful of friends. Our reception was a picnic at a local park. One of my quilt buddies helped me buy two bolts of Moda fabric that I cut to fit the picnic tables for tablecloths.  Think of the quilts I can get from all that fabric!  Each table was decorated with pots of greenery or flowers.  

I bought these forks on etsy, and we used them when we shared the wedding cake. We are not cake smash in the face people. I loved our forks so much that I've since bought a set for a favorite couple we know who is getting married in a few weeks.

We received a beautiful quilt was a gift from my TT quilt group made up in red and white fabrics - my favorite colors!  The funniest gift we received?  A fat gift certificate to a local quilt shop!  The most touching gifts?  A framed paper cutting my mom made and framed years ago, a cranberry cruet she had in the dining room for years, a doily that belonged to a favorite aunt who passed away earlier this year, and a set of antique chairs my parents bought, stripped and refinished years ago. Jack and Shirley bought them when Mom's things were sold at auction, and they offered them back to us as a gift.

Here we are with my daughters, their husbands, and my sweet grandkids. 

And here we are with Dave's parents, brothers, and their wives.

I have such a good life. Dave treats me like a queen.  I must be the luckiest and happiest gal in the world.

It's cherry picking time!  Unfortunately the severe winter has ruined the local crop, but I have been able to buy some really good shipped-in cherries.

I love cherries and couldn't wait to sew up this pattern.  It's a Fig Tree mini, and I downloaded the pattern.  I just used a few scraps and some nice background I had on hand.  The top sewed up in a few hours, and it took an afternoon to machine quilt it.  Easy, easy, easy!


Last weekend Dave and I were in Michigan for a wedding.  Can you tell by this picture where we are?  Cabelas!  Also known by our hunting friends as the mothership.  lol


Can see us very well?  Look below!

Saturday my friend Dave and I were at a family reunion at my Uncle Don's farm. It was fun to introduce him to my family and to visit with cousins I hadn't seen in a couple years.

Afterwards as we drove through the night, we could see fireworks celebrations in the small towns we drove through.  The hills of Pennsylvania provided a great opportunity to see lots of flashes of color in the night.

I'm finishing up this stitching project, and here's the link.  I'll post a finished picture soon.

I made bibs for my grandsons Eli and Masen; here's the link.  They were quick and easy.  Working with bright and funky fabrics is out of the norm for me, but I loved it and want to start buying more fun-looking prints to make things for my grandkids.

 

This one of two Swoon quilts I was asked to make for Christmas gifts.  Talk about funky fabrics out of the norm!  This one was a real stretch for me, but I was so excited about each block that I could hardly wait to start the next one.  The other Swoon quilt was simply black and red fabrics with a white background.  I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of that one because it was very striking. 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't been sewing much - still knitting like a woman possessed.  The local quilt group I belong to donated several hats and mittens plus $500 for underwear and other essentials to the local school district to help children in need.  With all the dibs and dabs of yarn that I have left from Christmas projects, I'm knitting hats for next year's donation. 

 

My job is going really well.  I'm working now for a CPA firm in Erie.  There are lots of young people in this office, and the energy in this office is upbeat and fun.  We are picking up the pace since it is tax season, and I'm working on Saturdays now.  We work like mad during the day now; soon we will be working through lunches and into the evenings, but it's a temporary craziness. 

 

And my new grandson has arrived - Colt Benjamin!  He was born in January in Canada, and I have yet to hold him.  The pictures and video I've received are just so sweet; I am looking forward to spending time with him and his family.  The count for grandchildren is now up to seven - three girls and four boys.  My daughters and their families and I are trying to get together once a month for a dinner and to spend time together.  I really look forward to this.

 

And I've been spending time with someone very special.  Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder why God is so very generous and good to me.  I am so thankful for the turns in my life even though I don't understand the whys and how comes.

 

I've been dealing with some personal things this summer and took a break from blogging.  If you've read my blog for a while, you know that I lost my job in October 2012, picked up a really nice new job in May, and sat through a tornado that blew through my backyard.  What I didn't share was that my car was rear ended one day on my way to work - to the tune of $11,000 worth of damage.  Looking back, it's kind of funny that the insurance company wanted to pay to fix the car.  I bought it for $10,500 (dealer cost).  I'm still seeing a chiropractor for a neck issue; but I'm fine, the car fine is (now), and life goes on.

And my life is going on in a way I never imagined.  I'm flying solo now; I signed my divorce paperwork yesterday.  I always believed in the holiness of marriage and that a commitment made before God needed to be honored.  However, things don't always go the way we want.  We are both getting through this the best way we can.  I have a wonderful group of friends who have helped me in many ways, and my faith continues to be very strong.

I am knitting up a storm, and it's so fun and relaxing.  I haven't sewn much, but there is a quilt top waiting to be finished in my sewing room; and I want to get it sewn up before I meet with my quilt group next week.  I'm also cutting up scraps for other projects.  So please continue to stop by, and I'll get some pictures and a few posts here soon.

And one piece of good news!  My daughter Mandy and her husband Shane are expecting and due in January.  This little bundle will be Grandchild #7, otherwise known as Grandson #4.  Another reason to make a quilt and to knit! 

Some excitement in our family on Wednesday.  There is a new baby!  He's a sweet little bundle weighing in at 6 pounds, 18 inches.  Big sister Gigi wasn't too impressed with seeing him at the hospital until she was able to hold him in her lap.  Now she calls him Baby Brother Eli. 

Randy and Jenny are wonderful parents.  There is nothing quite like watching your children be parents.  I am so very blessed.

Last fall my friends Mark and LuAnn invited me to their church to listen to Doty McDowell (a wildlife conservation officer) speak about the elk in Pennsylvania.  Now I'm not what you'd call an outdoor kind of girl with any type of interest in hunting or wild animals, but the evening was education and fun.  Doty is a great speaker, and it was interesting to hear about how the elk came to Pennsylvania and what the commission does to help control and keep an eye on the herd.

The following weekend they invited me to another church to listen to Sid Bream (former major league baseball player and now a speaker about hunting with God's Great Outdoors).  Again, another fun and informative evening.  I came away with a camo baseball cap as a souvenier.

Fast forward to March 2013.  Mark and LuAnn are very active in the local chapter of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.  The annual banquet was coming up, and LuAnn asked me if I'd help out in the days before the banquet.  There was computer work to be done as well as setting up the banquet rooms in the hotel for the games and auction items that would be available to the guests.  I was excited to get out of the house for a few days.  I ended up meeting the two founders of the RMEF and their wives as well as a great bunch of people on the committe.  Now my wardrobe consists of several RMEF T-shirts, a sweatshirt, and pins.

Next on my social calendar is a game banquet this coming weekend at another church.  Tickets to this event sell out within a matter of hours when they are made available.  Mark is friends with the organizer and his wife, so it was easy for us to get our tickets in time.  The real test for me will be Saturday night as we go through the buffet line.  I'm not a fan of eating wild game.  They tell me there will be the usual chicken and beef; but with 500 guests at this thing, I can only hope they don't run out before I get through the line.

LuAnn tells me it'll be a sea of camo at this event as everyone usually wears something made from camo fabric.  I've long since given away my camo cap, and I doubt I would have worn it anyway.  But this is the purse I will be carrying - made of genuine Mossy Oak fabric.  I can't believe myself.

And I may as well throw in that I'm also watching Duck Dynasty on TV.  The show itself is hilarious, but I really appreciate the ending where the family is gathered around the table for a meal; and Phil (the head of the family) leads in prayer before they eat.  He even invoked Jesus' name the other night; what's not to love about that.  Couple this with the fact that the men are respectful of their wives and children; and the show is just plain good, clean humor.  I love it.

My life - sometimes I just have to laugh.

Yesterday I celebrated Easter in my new church with my old friends.  Later I enjoyed a great meal with my family.  In the evening, friends came to my place for conversation and laughs.  I'm still unemployed and wondering what the heck is going on, but I know I am richly blessed despite the fact that this is not how I expect my life to be.  And I hope you can see the good in your life right now, too.

God's mercy is so awesome.  Last night my daughter Julie was in her car coming home from a church craft party.  Only a couple miles from her home, she was hit head on by a drunk driver.  We are praising God this morning because although her car was totaled, she is fine with just a compound fracture to her back - nothing a few pain meds and muscle relaxers can't help.

And because she lives in a small town, her husband Travis was one of the first on the scene.  He is a volunteer fireman; and as luck would have it, this was the first emergency call he was able to assist at.  The woman who was driving the truck that hit her is the mother of one of their daughter Natalie's classmates.  Already this morning Julie has told Natalie that she was in a car wreck and that she is not to talk about this in school.  The grace that Julie has brings tears to my eyes.

So their little family will be in church today to testify to God's provision and protection.  We will never understand how deep the love of God is for each one of us.

Sometimes life just doesn't go the way we plan.  It's been a difficult year, and I find myself in a new lifestyle that I never thought I would living. In addition to that, I worked for for Snap-tite, Inc. (which was a manufacturing company) a total of about 25 years.  The last 19 years I had been the administrative assistant to the president and vice president, and it was a job I loved.  In April Snap-tite was sold to Parker Corporation which was our largest competitor.  And then Parker began to make changes, and my job was eliminated October 31. 

But my faith is strong, and I am confident that something will come my way.  And that's not to say that I haven't had difficult days.  It was very humbling to know that so many of my co-workers both in the factories and in the offices were shocked when they heard the news about me.  And to know that many cried, really touched my heart.  I have lots of friends praying for a new position, and I'm doing my part looking for work.  I'm fortunate that Parker is paying my medical insurance, granted my unemployment compensation, and gave me a great severance check.  So in the meantime, I've joined the volunteer group at the library in town, am babysitting some of my grandkids, and working on finishing up unfinished quilt projects.  Oh, and now I'm a Law and Order CI and SVU junkie!

And I have a new grandson.  Masen James was born to Julie and Travis in October.  He's a little honey and is the spitting image of his brother Max.  The phrase 'double trouble' comes to mind; heaven help us all.  lol

Let's talk quilts.  My quilt group had our fall retreat in early November.  Every year I think Donna and her helpers do a terrific job, and this year was no exception.  The door prizes and gifts were outstanding.  The retreat was two weeks after I lost my job, and it was excellent medicine for a hurting heart.  Here are the baby quilts that we sew and donate to a local home for unwed mothers.  My donation is in the upper left -- charm squares set with white strips.   Quick and simple.  The remaining squares from that charm pack will be used in next year's donation.

Now some of our members have challenged themselves to work through a quilt book and make every quilt.  This is one of Donna's, and I can't remember the book she is working from.  She is terrific with scrap quilts; I loved this one.  And check out the apple box next to the quilt.  It was full of her small quilts.  Every one was a winner.

  

And Mary Lou was working through one of Carrie Nelson's Schnibbles books.  Each quilt was more beautiful than the one she showed before.  And the best part of her project?  She donated 10 of her quilts to the nursing home my mom lives in.  The ladies in my quilt group have donated approximately 60 wheelchair quilts to the nursing home.  I took 19 more quilts collected from last meeting and the retreat to the nursing home this week.  The head nurse is also a quilter; and when I arrived with two large bags of quilts, she was thrilled.  And it's also nice that while she and I were going through the bags oohing and aahing over the quilts, other staff members stop their work to check out the quilts.  She told me that many of the residents have taken to hoarding the quilts in their rooms.  It's so precious to see a resident wheeled through the halls with one of our quilts on their lap.  Thanks ladies!

 

 

And for the past few retreats, we've been challenged to finish up a quilt project using only the materials on hand.  This is the quilt I finished up.  I machine pieced and appliqued this top and then hand quilted it.  My hand quilting skills need a lot of work; and now that I have time on my hands, I'm practicing on the huge stack of tops I have in my sewing room.  And I lifted this picture from my cousing Audrey's blog.  She has several nice pictures of the quilts from the retreat, so please check out her blog as well.

 

 

So there's my update.  I hope to be posting more regularly as I have lots of projects I'm working on.  And one of these days I know I'll be telling you about the new job I have.  God is faithful; He hasn't let me down yet.



My grandson Max will be starting preschool on Tuesday.  Where does the time go?!  Max won't be three until October, but the school has taken him on anyway.  I used to think once children started school, they punched a time clock the rest of their lives, so I didn't bother with preschool when my girls were little.  But Natalie did so well in the same school and got a great headstart for kindergarten that I now think it's the way to go.  Max will only be in school two hours twice a week.  It's held in the church that he goes to for Sunday School.  So not only will he be drilled on ABC's and 123's, he'll be learning simple scriptures as well.  It's a great school.

And my granddaughter Natalie will be starting first grade!  It seems like she was just graduating from preschool.  In her school, there are only two homerooms for each grade.  She knew which teacher she wanted, and she's been lucky enough to get into that room.  And I've heard that some of the Amish friends she made during kindergarten will be back for first grade, too.

Last year I baked peanut butter cookies for Natalie to have in her lunch box and for an after school snack.  I'd like to make this an annual back-to-school tradition, so this year I'm making Ina Garten's shortbread cookies.  It's one cookie that we usually bake every Christmas - it's that good.  I will use my miniature cookie cutters for the cookies for Natie and Max and then use some of my larger cutters for cookies for Julie and Travis.

Lots of excitement in our family lately.  Last night I found out Grandchild #6 will be arriving in late April or early May.  Travis is now going to become a volunteer fireman; I'm really proud of him for that.  And then Grandchild #5 (Grandson #2) will be arriving in just a few short weeks.  Time is just going so fast.

I've been in a Christmas sewing mood lately  This pattern is Peppermint Swirls by Fig Tree Quilts.  I used scraps to make the blocks and purchased Moda Bella Solids for the setting and borders.  This has to be one of my favorite quilts, and I hope to have it quilted in time for Christmas.



See these sweet little skiers on this fabric?  I'm not sure how old this piece is.  I bought some years ago and used it sparingly because I loved the shade of red, and the skiers are just so stinking cute.  My friend NancyP heard me talk about how much I loved this fabric, and she pulled a piece from her stash and gave it to me.  I hung onto it for a long time to be sure that it went into a project that I would love and keep.  I found a winner!


And even sweeter is that later on NancyP found the same print only with a black background and also gave that piece to me.  As soon as I post this, I'm heading back to my sewing room because I've found another project; and that piece will be perfect in it. 

And on a side note, I use a lot of Moda fabrics in my quilts; the quality is outstanding.  However, I was really disappointed with the Bella Solids.  I found that they frayed super easy.  I won't be buying this line of fabric again.

I had planned to host the TT quilt group tonight in the back yard.  After weeks of no significant rain, it started to pour this morning.  Isn't that just the way?!  So I've run the sweeper and moved more chairs into the living room and started up the air conditioner.




The sunflower quilt on the dining room table.  A few weeks ago I picked some some chocolate brown paper plates and some pretty paper napkins.  I bought some glassine bags and wooden knives, forks, and spoons from Garnish.  They have the cutest ideas for packaging food, and I love their blog.  All the bags have a striped straw, too. 

All the bags are inside Mom's antique Girl Scout lunch box.  Perfect.  And tucked inside each glassine bag is a little wish ticket.  After our meeting, someone will pull a number out of a dish.  Whoever has the wish ticket with that number will win a pin cushion.  Just something fun that we do once in a while at a meeting.

It's party time at my place!  Gigi is turning one in a couple of weeks, and her mommy and daddy are planning a carnival-themed party in my backyard.  Jenny bought the fabric, and I made this skirt for her to wear at her party.  Isn't this just stinking cute?!!  The tutorial I followed is here.

The Class of 2024 graduated yesterday - from kindergarten.  There are 45 precious children in Natalie's class - several of which are Amish students, so it's likely they will not be present when this class graduates as seniors.  I love that she is in a school that has such small classes.



Their program was a series of songs and one-line speeches that took us through a typical school day.  Everyone did a great job.

At the end of the ceremony, all the students walked from the stage to the floor and sat in a row to watch a PowerPoint presentation of pictures of their activities throughout the year.  Natalie's teacher snuggled up to her; she has got to be one of the best and most loving elementary teachers I know.

Julie sat next to me; and during the PowerPoint, I could hear her sniffing.  As moms, haven't we all been a little emotional when we see our children grow?  I leaned over to her and whispered 'next thing you know, she'll be married with two kids of her own and one more on the way.'

Restaurant Impossible has come to town, and we were there for the reopening!  I had never watched the show until I learned they would be here, but daughters Jenny and Julie have; and they were quick to get their husbands plus Larry and me reservations for dinner tonight at the reveal. 

Robert Irvine is a doll.  On TV I think he comes across as pretty brutal.  However, he is so personable and charming in real life.  He worked the crowd like an entertainer, and he even spent a few minutes chatting with granddaughter Gigi who is just 11 months old.  And yes, those muscles on his arm are real and huge!

Our dinner reservation was for 8:50, but we never got seated until after 9:30.  By then Gigi, who is normally a night owl, had had enough; so Jenny and Randy took her and left for home.  And because it was so late, we ordered appetizers and salad so we could get out and get home ourselves.  Larry had a deep fried salmon cake, and I had shrimp corn dogs.  Both were delicious.  We also each had a cup of sweet potato bisque - excellent.

While we were seated inside the restaurant, Robert asked the diners to be quiet and then asked if anyone in the building had ever served in the armed forces.  There were a couple of veterans, and he thanked them for their service to our country.  We all applauded for that really nice gesture.  Then there was a priest standing in line, and Robert asked him to say a blessing for the food as well as for the workers.  Outstanding!

The restaurant was full, and people  were really enjoying themselves.  The wait staff seemed to be pretty overwhelmed.  We had three different waitresses, and our food was not served all at once.  But I imagine these past couple of days were crazy for them with the work and the excitement.  I'm sure once things calm down, they will have things figured out. 

The restaurant is Michelle's in Corry, Pennsylvania.  I really hope that this professional advice from Robert combined with the outstanding publicity will help turn things around for the owners of the restaurant.  The food seemed to be rather high brow for this blue collar town, but hey - who doesn't need to be classed up!

This is a blog post about other blogs.  Things have been crazy in my life lately, and I haven't had the mind to blog; but I have been reading others.  There are so many great ideas out there; let me share with you.

First, the quilt retreat was so much fun.  I am so lucky to be with this great group of women.  Audrey posted here and here including pictures of my projects.  Her stories and pictures are great; I hope you'll skip over and check them out.

And the button candies I labored over?  They melted in the closet that I stored the gifts in for the quilters!  I didn't think the quilt room or the closet were that warm, but wasn't I surprised to find that the closet was.  So I'll be back to work and try to make more to pass around at an upcoming meeting.

Melanie, Sue, and I have been working on Edyta Sitar quilts.  The original intention was to make a block a month.  It wasn't long before I fell off the wagon and got behind.  Now I am way behind.  Last weekend I got that project out and machine appliqued two blocks to bring me to a total of six.  I half considered just making three more and having a nice wallhanging, but I know I'll be sorry if I don't make the entire quilt.  So I'm picking away on that little by little.  Melanie has posted about making the hourglass blocks, and you can read about it here.  Again, I was tempted to take a shortcut and just put straight borders around my blocks.  But I have the fabric to make the quilt as instructed; now I just need to find the time.

One of my favorite projects is this basket quilt that I'm making from fabrics Mom had in her stash combined with fabrics from mine.  My original post was here.  These little 6" blocks are time consuming - especially when I think that I want to make 300 of them.  I am ready to start #102.  My favorite quilts are scrappy ones with hundreds of pieces; this fits the bill.  I am really cranking out blocks while I'm still interested in this project.  Each block is cuter than the one before, and I hope to be able to keep working on this one for quite a while.

I want to thank my TT quilt group friends for the stacks and stacks of wheelchair quilts they have made for the nursing home/assisted living complex my parents lived in.  On Mother's Day as I was feeding Mom her lunch, an aide was wheeling a resident down the hall who was sporting one of those quilts.  It brought tears to my eyes that my friends have shared their time and their materials to make these beautiful quilts.  What started out as a few quilts for the nursing home residents has morphed into sending quilts to the assisted living building as well. 

And the best news for last.  I posted here about my friend Angela and her aha moment.  She recently underwent brain surgery to help her handle her Parkinson's disease.  Here is her blog.  NBC has filmed her progress and will be airing a program in June about this.  I don't have the details yet on when this will be shown, but I will share as soon as I do.  She is one of the most precious friends I have, and you will love her too when you see her story.  Grab a box of Kleenex and read her blog in the meantime.

If you are in my TT quilt group, you may want to stop reading; I'm writing about the upcoming retreat and the gifts.

It's spring quilt retreat time this coming weekend.  With the help of NancyZ, Audrey, and Betsy, here are the gifts for the quilters.  First up are little candies in the shapes of buttons and packaged with their own little labels.  Here's the link to the blog where I found this idea, and it even includes the .pdf for the labels.  I am not a candy maker, but these were simple although time consuming.  Aren't they just dang cute?!

So because I don't think I have enough stress in my life, I decided all the gifts needed to be wrapped. I used a couple of old McCalls patterns and some ribbon from my stash to wrap up fork pins, binding clips, and Thread Heaven.





In the lunch bag there are a couple of dishclothes that Betsy knitted as well as a charm pack from NancyZ.  Audrey found on the web the cute idea of the canning jar with a packet of seeds, some thread, needles; and Betsy donated the little thread pick.  Looks like I've forgotten to tie a scrap of fabric around the jar rim.  Back to the sewing room to finish this up.

I've cut three Schnibbles patterns to work on at the retreat.  And if I'm lucky enough to get those finished up, we're close enough to my house that I can come home and pick up more work to do.  Believe it or not, I am finishing up UFO's even though it seems I continue to start new projects!

Have a great weekend.

When I was a kid, sometimes my folks would drop me off at Gramma's for the night while they went out. It wouldn't be long after they drove off that I'd be pestering Gramma to get someone over to the house for me to play with; and nine times out of ten it would be my cousin Audrey. Fast forward 40 some years, and I'm still hanging out overnight with Audrey - usually at a quilt retreat but this weekend I stayed at her house.

When we plan these kinds of weekends, we are power sewing and talking with hardly a lull in the action. We don't have time to figure out complicated quilt instructions or fussing because the directions are wrong. This weekend we worked on Schnibbles patterns by Carrie of Miss Rosie's Quilt Company. This is my take on Tiny Town which is a knock-off of Carrie's pattern Full House. The fabrics are from two charm packs of Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs.


Let me add this. I had a question on the directions for Tiny Town, so I emailed Carrie. She was prompt in getting back to me to help me figure out what was confusing me. I appreciate the fact that she takes the time to read and respond to an email. I can't say enough good about Carrie or her patterns. Here is the link for Tiny Town.



This is Lincoln from the book Another Bite of Schnibbles. Talk about quick and easy! I love how these patterns work up like this. The fabrics I used were two charm packs of Clermont Farms by Minnick and Simpson.





We took a couple hours off for a quick run to Audrey's mom's house to eat freshly-baked cookies with her before a quick stop at the quilt shop and to pick up take-out Chinese for supper while we watched The Help.

Talk about a great relaxing weekend! We sewed up a storm and ate way too much junk - a perfect combination for a great time. Audrey will be posting pictures of her projects over at Four Houses Down. Thanks, Audrey, for a great weekend!
